This agency has investigated the complaint alleging staff yelled at child and staff handled child in a rough manner . At this time, it is determined that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore at this time the above allegation is unsubstantiated. No deficiency given at this time.
